So since Michigan and Ohio State are the top 2, does that mean they both go to National Championship? I'm lost.

The #1 and #2 teams in the Final BCS Poll at the end of the season will meet up in the National Championship game. Things can and do change between all the regular season polls and the final poll - anything can happen.

in my opinion, a team should not be playing in the national championship game unless they win their conference, therefore michigan should not be sitting at #2 right now.
what if there is a rematch between ohio state and michigan for the national championship and michigan ends up winning?

I understand the opinion, but shouldn't the national championship be between the best two teams -- regardless of what conference they're in?
The real problem, as I see it, is how to determin just who the best really are without a championship playoff system like there is in basketball or other sports.

Michigan had their shot against OSU....they lost......they souldn't be rewarded for losing and making it a pretty close game. It was clear that OSU was the better team without a doubt.

Brother, part of me agrees with you and part of me does't.
On any given day, on any given field, anything can, does, and will happen.

I couldn't agree more.
But what if no other team in the country could beat Michigan?
Before the big BCS hype, they used to call it, "the mythical national championship."
Assuming Ohio State really is the best team in the country, if there is a team that can beat Michigan, they should play the Buckeyes.
Unfortunately, we can't be absolutely sure if that team exists or not -- so the title is still "mythical" to me.

While I could agree with you, the question has to be asked" "remember that we are talking college football with college students playing". Not yet pros. Not sure if we really need another 5 weeks of college football.

An 8 team playoff would only take 3 weeks. The bowl season currently takes a lot longer than 3 weeks.
